Jump to unread Post a CommentKeep in mind that even the Intel i7-26xxQM series only support RAM up to 1,333MHz so you’ll need the i7-27xx or 28xx series to be able to use the higher speed otherwise it will default to 1,333MHz.
They also have them in 2x4gb format for £37.63. I went down this route for my XPS.

not entirely accurate. you just have to use the bios. xmp.
if you have a decent mobo (as you should), you dont need to worry about that guys post.
Even desktop Intel chipsets/CPUs can have this limitation; e.g. the current H67 chipset is limited to 1,333MHz RAM with no option to change the divider upwards.

this is true, i really was just pointing out that there are ways around the lack of support for 1600, and that it isnt as hopeless as i perceived from your original comment.
i myself have 8gb of this ram with a 2500k and a z68. albeit, this is all of course in a desktop, but its the same principle.

Yes but as he pointed out most laptops do not support changing the ram ratios. Most retail desktop motherboards do support manual setting of the ram ratio. So for 99% of people looking at the so-dimm above it will have no benefit over a cheaper 1333Mhz module.

then for the 1%, my comment is useful. that was my only contention.
it isnt as low as 1%.

SO-DIMM memory is only for laptops and macs so it won't work with your desktop unless it's a mac

Cas latency might be lower running at 1333mhz instead of the 1600mhz if bios can utilise non serial presence detect settings
[edit 13:05]seems it auto overclocks for 1333 to 1600 so chances are CL is same at both speeds. Well @1066 you might see some lower timings if what you put it in only supports 1066

Still, I tried these in my L702x & one slot just wasn't liking them (the other 3 were fine with them), but Dell wouldn't do anything about it, as the XPS 17 is only designed to take 1333MHz. :(
